Today I planned to go to
Valley Crest, for yesterday my
regular day did not seem the
kind of weather I ought to go out
in. But then, neither did today!
Perhaps I am a little more
cautious about going out in.
weather than I used to be. Three,
years in succession of having to
be a hospital patient perhaps
has slowed down my daring all’
kinds of weather.
By the way, Catherine set up
our projector last night and
tried out our Christmas gift or a
professional type projector
table. Works just fine has every
convenience one ever needs.
She had taken some slide pic--
tures during those few days
when the ice on the branches"
stayed just so without dripping
or changing shape. When hot
summer days come and you.
want something cool to look at,
send for her to give you a slide -
show guaranteed to cool you
off! For instance,
crystal. And pussy willows
made of clear glass! Or
weeping willow branches frozen
into garlands of diamonds!
Some of her close-ups of cry-
stallized buds are unimaginably
beautiful.
All of which goes to prove that
even in winter, life can be
beautiful! Funny, how a closeup
picture or even a well-framed
photo of almost anything have
their elements of beauty.
I have been trying to school
myself to a more appreciative
hearing of a great oratorio. For
instance, I found lying on the
stand the envelope which
contained a recording by
Robert Shaw of “Mozart’s
Requiem Mass in D Minor. The
record was on the phonograph,
so I sat down to read the words
which were being sung.
As a habitual listener to the
Wyoming Valley Oratorio
Society’s productions I have
certain difficulties. Most of you
know, however, that with a
daughter who has been singing
in this Society’s oratorios for
about 16 years, I would try to
hear every one of the concerts.
In fact, I have missed very few
and then only because of
sickness. But as I say, I have
certain difficulties. One
especially has to do with the
- words being sung. I am not
enough of a musician to enjoy to
the fullest a production which is
sung by human voices unless
somehow I can know what they
are singing. Words and their
meanings are important to me.
(Incidentally this is why I
deeply dislike some very well-
liked so-called ‘‘gospel” songs:
because the words sound too
cheap or unrealistic to me and
my experience. The tunes may
be catchy but the words to me
often are ‘‘scratchy’’! Pardon
me for saying so!)
Sometimes the Oratorio wing
produced does not have the
words printed on the program. I
understand that this sometimes
is due to the added expense
involved, and I know the
directors do have to keep ex-
penses at a minimum.
Sometimes when the words are
printed the house lights are
turned off during the perfor-
mance and one cannot read the
words. This is something I am
going to take into consideration
in future concerts. I am going to
buy myself an efficient small
flashlight with to read the
words.
My Typewriter Talks
imagine
seeing lilac buds encased in
by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert
human beings find ourselves
(and we better believe it!) as
sinners in manifold ways
making the only effective plea
we can make for mercy. We
may be respectable high-brows
or confessed low-brows but
there is only one road into
eternal peace and that is by this
very cry for mercy expressed in
oft-repeated notes—‘ ‘Kyrie
eleison”, Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy.
To me, this great oratorio has
this strong message for us
couched in the language of the
Church and the Bible, and, let
us not forget it, poured out in
repetitious phrases and in deep
intensity, to the God we are
taught is, may we thank His
Name, not only Sanctus (Holy)
but merciful.
If He is not merciful there is
no hope for us!
Aren’t you glad you are not
rich!
Jesus had an experience most
alarming. A young man who
was ‘‘very rich”, came asking
Jesus the way to eternal life.
His riches were a hindrance.
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘‘Itis
easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom
of God.”
I note that God is not in-
terested in getting a camel
through the eye of a needle.
Neither is the camel. But across
the page in the 19th chapter of
Luke there is the story of
Zaccheus of whom it was said
that he was ‘very rich”. Not
only was he rich but he was a
“little man’’. Now God provided
even this ‘‘very rich’’ but even
this “little man’ with a tree
with branches low enough to
reach. This little fellow pulled
himself up into the tree where
he could see Jesus and Jesus
could see him. This bore out the
word Jesus had said in the
previous chapter: ‘What is
impossible for men is possible
% for God!” And this rich man,
this little man did find entrance
into the kingdom!
This is about all the preaching
I ought to do for this column. So,
my dear glickity-clack, you can
sign off!
The fact that the words are
sometimes in Latin is no draw-
back to me,for although I am
not an accomplished student of
Latin I can follow the lines and
know what the singers are
doing. I know what Kyrie
eleeison mean(they happen to
be Greek, not Latin) and God
forbid I should not ever know
what Sanctus means, and
Benedictus, and Amen!
There is something obvious in
this oratorio and many of the
others that are sung, they are,
and especially this Requiem
Mass, the words first and last
are addressed directly to the
Almighty God Himself. That
constitutes one great difference
between songs and hymns. The
words of a hymn, because they
are addressed directly to the
ear of Almighty God, can never
be cheap or meaningless. So
with this oratorio (which by the
way is part of the spring concert
the Society has just begun
working on) it is a mighty
serious, though beautiful
prayer from the depth of the
human heart which knows its
sinfulness, addressed to the
mercy of God in Christ. Now
there is no fooling about this
situation in which all of us
Girl Scouts sell
variety of cookies
Now is the time for area
residents to fill up their cookie
jars. Girl Scouts and Brownies
of Penn’s Woods Council started
selling cookies last Saturday
and the annual sale will con-
tinue through Feb. 6.
Girl Scouts in the six-county
area, armed with instructional
material and supplies to aid
with the sale, are ‘‘on their
honor”, taking orders for five
varieties of cookies, including
shortbread, peanut butter,
chocolate and vanilla sandwich
cremes, thin mints, and
pecanettes.
Mrs. William Heckman,
Wilkes-Barre, council-wide
chairman of the Cookie Sale,
stated the goal is 385,000 boxes.
Participating Girl Scouts of
Penn’s Woods Council represent
registered troops in the counties
of Luzerne, Columbia, Schuyl-
kill, and parts of Carbon, North-
umberland and Wyoming.
Mrs. Heckman said the
-
-—
“cookie sales annually enable
the Council to provide camping
opportunities to Girl Scouts at a
lower cost, assists in the
maintenance of camp propert-
ies owned and operated by the
Council and to strengthen the
proposed camp development
plan.”
Adult volunteers assisting in
District IV are: Mrs. Abram
Daniels, Kingston, chairman;
neighborhood chairmen,
Mildred Weiss, Nanticoke; Mrs.
John M. Zaleskas, Harveys
Lake; Mrs. Earnest Norrie,
Trucksville; Mrs. Robert
Hossler, Kingston; Jeanne
Smith, Pringle; Mrs. John
Lychos, Forty Fort.
